P. 265, note 10 a. Add : Small broken stalks tied up into little bunches on the edges of woollen shrouds have been found with the dead of the graves L.F. 1, L.F. 4, L.Q., L.S. 2, L.S. 3, L.S. 6, all belonging to different indigenous burial-grounds of the Lou-lan area ; see i. pp. 268 sq., ii. 936, 740 sq.

Dr. A. B. RENDLE, F.R.S., Keeper of Botany, British Museum, to whom specimens from these burial deposits were submitted, in a letter dated August 4, 1925, kindly informed me as follows :

The specimens (they are all the same) are undoubtedly fragments of the twigs of Ephedra, a low-growing shrub with slender green branches devoid of leaves except for a small membranous sheath at the nodes. It is abundant in the drier regions of the Himalayas and Tibet, and generally in Central and Western Asia.
